        all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup,      you consciously went for the best cups and were seeing each other’s     .

    小题16:B 根据下文的  32  tools to hold and contain life…可知，作者把生活比作咖啡。
    小题17: C 工作、金钱、社会地位只是盛生活的工具。just“只是；仅仅”。
    小题18: B 工作、金钱、社会地位改变不了生活的性质。
    小题19: D 根据上下文可知，只注意杯子，就享受不了杯子里的咖啡了。

    When I was eight, I wrote my first poem．My mother read and cried, "Buddy, you didn't really write this beautiful poem!"

I asked．I could hardly wait to     my work to him．I spent quite some time       for his arrival．I wrote the poem out in my finest flourish（花体字）’drew a fancy border around it and     I placed it right on my father's plate on the dining table． My father had begun his motion-picture career as a writer．1 was sure he would be able to      my poem．
    At almost 7 o'clock my father burst in．He seemed      ．He circled the dining-room table, complaining about his employees．
    Suddenly he paused and glared at his plate．"What is this?" He was reaching for my poem．
    ¨Ben, Buddy has written his first poem!” my mother began． "And it's beautiful, absolutely amaz…”
    “If you don't mind, I'd like to decide for myself．" Father said．

    That may have been the end of the story, but not of its      for me． I realized how fortunate I had been． I had a mother who said, "I think it's wonderful!" and a father who drove me to hear with "I think it's awful．"
    Every one of us needs that mother force, from which all     flows; and yet the mother force alone is incomplete． It needs the balance of the force that      ,"Watch． Listen． Review． Improve．"
    Those       voices of my childhood ring in my ears through the years, like two opposing winds blowing me． Between the two poles of     and doubt, both in the name of love, I try to follow my true course．

    When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor if the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn;t afford the operation because her family was poor.
    Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）. On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s.
    My father then set out to sell it. Eventfully, he foud himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loves the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.
    My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But i doubt that it could have been better than his own story.
    小题1:Who found the O. Henry’s manuscript?
    A．The girl’s mother.B．The author’s father.
    C．The girl.D．The author.
    小题2:Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic?
    A．O. Henry once worked in Houston.
    B．O. Henry once stayed in Galveston.
    C．O. Henry once moved to Des Moines.
    D．O. Henry once taught at SMU.
    小题3:The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.
    A．namedB．treatedC．provedD．described
    小题4:According to the text, why did the author’s father go to Des Moines?
    A．To sell the O. Henry story.B．To meet the author himself.
    C．To talk with the O. Henry expert.D．To give money to the girl.

    I was now in my twenty third year of residence in this island and was accustomed to the place and to the manner of living. If it had not been the savages（野人）who had come to the place to disturb me, I could have been content to spent the rest of my time there, even to the last moment, till I had laid me down and died, like the old goat in the cave.
    I had also arrived to some little recreations and amusements, which made the time pass more pleasantly with me a great deal than it did before．
    At first, I had taught my Poll to speak. And he did it so familiarly and talked so clearly and plain that it was very pleasant to me. And he lived with me no less than twenty six years. How long he might live afterwards, I don’t know; though I know they have an idea in Brazil that they live a hundred years. Perhaps poor Poll may be alive there still, calling Poor Robin Crusoe to this day. I wish no other English man had the bad luck to go there and hear him. But if he did, he would certainly believe it was the devil（魔鬼）.
    My dog was a very pleasant and loving companion to me, for no less than sixteen years of my time, and then died of mere old age.
    As for my cats, they multiplied to that degree that I had to shoot several of them at first to keep them from eating up all I had.
    Besides these, I had two more parrots which talked pretty well and would all call Robin Crusoe, but none like my first. Nor indeed did I take the pains with any of them that I had done with him.
    I had also several sea-fowls, whose names I don’t know, that I caught upon the shore and cut their wings. And the little stakes which I had planted before my castle wall being now grown up to a good thick bush, these fowls all lived among these low trees and bred there, which was very agreeable to me; so that as I said above, I began to be well content with the life I led if not worried about the threat from the savages.
    小题1:What does the passage mainly talk about?
    A．Robin Crusoe treated animals kindly.
    B．Robin Crusoe led a hard life on the island.
    C．The animals raised by Robin Crusoe brought him much pleasure.
    D．The savages always spoiled Robin Crusoe’s happy life.
    小题2:How many parrots did Robin Crusoe mention in this passage?
    A．2B．3C．4D．5
    小题3:According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
    A．Robin’s dog may be still alive on the island.
    B．Robin Crusoe lived in harmony with savages.
    C．Robin Crusoe met an English man while on the island.
    D．Parrots raised by Robin could talk very well.
    小题4:What is the “sea-fowl” mentioned in the last paragraph?
    A．A bird living on the coast.
    B．A fish living in the sea.
    C．A creature without a name
    D．An animal feeding on tree leaves.

    It was the Year from Hell-September 1993 to September 1994-the dog died, my marriage of 24 years ended, and my house burned down. I had moved into a new rented house with my youngest son, after my husband and I split up. We'd been in the house just six weeks. I went to a dinner party one night, and as I drove home, I saw helicopters hovering in the general vicinity of my new home. Smoke was billowing into the sky, and sirens were wailing. As I got closer, I thought, Wouldn't it be awful if that was my house? Then I turned the corner, and sure enough, it was my house.
    I was devastated. It had been such a horrible year, and now everything I owned had gone up in smoke. Mementos, baby pictures, family keepsakes, clothes, furniture-everything was destroyed. My marriage was gone, my dog was gone, my home was gone, and all my worldly possessions, except my car and the clothes on my back, were gone too.
    My son and I stayed with a friend for a couple of nights. Then my friend Gail heard about the fire, called me up, and said, "Come move into my house. I have seven bedrooms and five bathrooms-plenty of space for you and your son." It was a sprawling ranch house on a double lot in La Jolla, with an ocean view, to boot. Gail had three kids at home, but there was still plenty of room for me and my son, Sutton. Her offer was a godsend. Little did I know that her offer of a temporary place to stay would turn into a living arrangement that lasted two and a half years.
    Gail and I had a lot in common. We had both been raised Catholic and our unconscious minds had been programmed the same way-we saw ourselves as good little Catholic girls who were gonna stay married forever. But both of our husbands decided they didn't want to be married anymore, and so here we were, two single mothers, dazed, confused, and in a fog. We had followed the rules... why were we not happy? Gail and I spent the next couple of years sorting out a lot of things together.
    After we moved in, I soon began to look for a permanent place to live. After a few weeks, Gail said, "Please don't leave. I've never had so much freedom!" Having me in the house meant someone to help take care of her kids, someone to share cooking and gardening, and someone to share day-to-day life. She loved having me there, and I loved being there. So we stayed.
    It was an important chapter in my life. Gail and I gardened together, talking back and forth as we worked in the soil. We both needed time to heal from our divorces, time to sort out the confusion, time to get some clarity on the past and some focus on the future. It was a time of deeper insight and spiritual growth for both of us. Over time, I grew to realize how strong I really was, how even-tempered, and how I really could get my act together and go on with my life.
    Gail's generosity was more than anyone could ever ask or expect from a friend. She gave me a safe haven in which to mourn and heal and grow into the next chapter of my life. She showed her love in countless ways. I am eternally grateful to have a friend like Gail.
    I'm also grateful for the lessons I learned from the fire and the other losses that came so suddenly, so fast. Much to my surprise, I found gratitude among the ashes. I was tested sorely-literally trial by fire. But, like a phoenix, I rose from the ashes strong and whole. I would not be the person I am today if not for that Year from Hell.
    小题1:Why did the writer say Sep 1993 to Sep 1994 was the Year from Hell?
    A．She got divorced from her husband
    B．Both of her houses were burned down
    C．She met some misfortune one after another
    D．Her dog was killed in the big fire
    小题2:What did the writer and Gail have in common?
    A．Both of them had one son
    B．Both of them believed in the same faith
    C．Both of them lost the home
    D．Both of them decided to divorce
    小题3:How did the writer spend the days with Gail?
    A．She looked after the 4 kids alone
    B．She planted some flowers with Gail
    C．She shared the same bedroom with Gail
    D．They did some cleaning together
    小题4:which is the right order of the following events?
    ①、She wanted to find a permanent house
    ②、She shared cooking with Gail
    ③、She went to a dinner party one night

    Family traditions were important in our house, and none was more appreciated than the perfect Christmas tree
    "Dad, can we watch when you trim（修剪）the tree?" My eldest son. Dan, nine, and his seven -year-old brother John, asked
    "I won't be cutting this year," my husband Bob said. "Dan, you and John are old enough to measure things. Do it all by yourselves. Think you boys can handle it?
    Dan and John seemed to grow six inches in their chairs at the thought of such an amazing responsibility. "We can handle it." Dan promised. "We won't let you down." .
    A few days before Christmas. Dan and John rushed in after school. They gathered the tools they'd need and brought them out to the yard .where the tree waited. I was cooking when I heard the happy sounds as the boys carried the tree into the lying room. Then I heard the sound that every mother knows is trouble: dead silence I hurried out to them. The tree was cut too short. John  crossed his arms tight across his chest. His eyes filled with angry tears.
    I felt worried The tree was central to our holiday. I didn't want the boys to feel ashamed every tune they looked at it. I couldn't lower the ceiling, and I couldn't raise the floor either. There was no way to undo the damage done. Suddenly, a thought came to my mind, which turned the problem into the solution. 
    “We can't make the tree taller." I said. "But we can put it on a higher position"
    Dan nodded his head sideways. "We could put it on the coffee table. It just might work! Let's try it!“
    When Bob got home and looked at the big tree on top of the coffee table, Dan and John held their breath.
    "What a good idea!" he declared "Why didn't I ever think of such a thing?"
